The Michael Berry Show I think one of the great advancements we could make is if people stop wearing their emotions on their sleeve and start and stop looking at every statement someone offers as commentary as either a criticism or compliment of them personally. It's what underpins things like, hey, if you're

black you are dramatically more likely to be murdered by someone else who is black

than you are someone who is white.

So don't tell me about white crime.

And so black people will say, I'm not going to murder anybody.

Why did you see yourself as the murderer?

Why didn't you see yourself as the victim? There are fewer murderers and victims. We know that because some

murderers commit multiple murders, which means there necessarily have to be more

victims than murderers. But I wasn't talking about you. I was quoting the

FBI statistics. How on earth did you use that? Because everybody is running around looking for validation or seeking to be offended.

If I said, if you're American Samoan, you're 64 times more likely to be murdered by an American

Samoan, then you are an Eskimo, you wouldn't go,

I don't like that fact at all.

I don't know why you're quoting that.

That's just terrible! If you're not American Samoa or Eskimo, I made that fact up by the way.

So why did a fact that is a statistic unrelated to you

personally why does it affect people? And by the way I didn't bring this up to scold black people.

I brought this up to scold people across the board

for not looking at the truth, but instead looking at everything as, how does it affect me?

How does it affect me?

If I say that children of divorced parents

statistics show do not perform as well in school as the children of two parent homes.
